Ivone Silva became a junior paragliding world champion, winning a title of great relevance for Portuguese sport. The Portuguese achieved this feat by flying to the world title, demonstrating her exceptional skills in the sport.
The athlete was born and grew up with a launch site right by her house, which allowed her to have early and constant contact with paragliding. This proximity to the sport since childhood will have contributed significantly to her development as an elite athlete.
Beyond the sporting achievement, Ivone Silva expressed the desire to inspire more young people, especially girls, to take up the sport. The junior world champion wants to be an example for younger generations and promote greater female participation in paragliding.
